Abstract

A system for conditioning the leads of a semiconductor device. The system includes a base having at least one anvil surface configured to form the leads to a predetermined shape, and at least one forming arm mounted to the base. An actuator is movable relative to the base to move the forming arm from a first position, with the forming arm spaced from the leads, to a second position, with the forming arm urging the leads against the anvil surface to form the leads to a predetermined configuration.
